The Ads of Christmas Past: Folgers (1986) “Peter Comes Home”

This ad may be super-cheesy. But admit it – you know “Peter Comes Home” gives you the warm and fuzzies.

I see this commercial and immediately long for that first cup. Not sure if it’s Folgers I would reach for, but that’s a different story.

A few years ago, Folgers ran a sort of remake of the classic “Peter” spot. But it’s just not the same, as you can clearly see. If it ain’t broke…

    if Peter was the parent now and that was his son coming home now. Follwing tradition with Folgers
